Leon "Jody" Lemieux was born December 12, 1959, in Barre City Hospital to loving parents, Dorothy Leno Lemieux and Edward Lemieux.  Jody attended Spaulding High School and worked in several places before settling on his avocation, plumbing.  Jody worked most of his adult life doing commercial plumbing.  He loved his job and drove countless miles to many job sites.  His greatest pleasures were hunting and fishing with his family and friends in Maine.  He loved the outdoors and spent much time in nature.

Friends and family can rest easy knowing that Jody passed away very quickly and likely from a coronary event.  Jody leaves behind his wife of 21 years, Jill Jourdan, his son Kaleb Lemieux, of Washington, VT, his 4 brothers, Andy, Ebby, Greg, Chris and his baby sister, Michelle Boette, and her husband, Kevin.  He also leaves behind a niece and two nephews, Samantha, Jake and Garrett.

A service to honor Jody's life will be held on Saturday, October 25, 2025 at 1:00 p.m. at the United Church of Newport located at 63 Third Street, Newport, VT.  Refreshments will follow in the basement of the church.  Donations may be made in Jody's name to:
